Incorrect date in all imported video filenames.

[akoen]

When importing videos, the dates in their filenames are consistently 7 hours ahead of imported photos taken at the same time. This 7 hour time difference corresponds to the UTC offset in my timezone.

This occurs with videos taken on my phone, on my camera, and with photos imported from Google photos takeout. Is there an easier way to resolve this than to change their dates manually?

Cheers!

Alright I have solved the problem. According to the EXIF and QuickTime standard, photos should be stored in local time while videos should be stored in UTC time. Since many cameras don't respect this standard, exiftool ignores it by default. However, by adding -api QuickTimeUTC to the exiftool command, the dates are handled appropriately.

In elodie.py:

I would argue that this should be added as an option to Elodie.
